    Flat directions and gravitino production in SUSY models

    by Raghavan Rangarajan, Anjishnu Sarkar

    Flat directions in supersymmetric models can get large vacuum expectation values in the early Universe which leads to a large mass for gauge bosons and gauginos. We point out that this can then result in enhanced gravitino production because the cross-section for the production of the +/- 1/2 helicity states of the gravitino is proportional to the square of the gaugino masses. We consider gravitino production after inflation in such a scenario and find that the abundance in some cases can be much larger than the upper bound on the gravtino abundance from cosmological constraints unless the flat direction field has a very small vacuum expectation value when it commences oscillating.

    Spontaneous CP violation in quark scattering from QCD Z(3) interfaces

    by Abhishek Atreya, Anjishnu Sarkar, Ajit M. Srivastava

    In this paper, we explore the possibility of spontaneous CP violation in the scattering of quarks and anti-quarks from QCD Z(3) domain walls. The CP violation here arises from the nontrivial profile of the background gauge field $(A_{0})$ between different Z(3) vacua. We calculate the spatial variation of $A_{0}$ across the Z(3) interface from the profile of the Polyakov loop $L(\vec{x})$ for the Z(3) interface and calculate the reflection of quarks and antiquarks using the Dirac equation. This spontaneous CP violation has interesting consequences for the relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments, such as baryon enhancement at high $P_{T}$. It also acts as a source of additional J/$\psi$ suppression. We also discuss its implications for the early universe.
